Hn.

[ If he's allowed, he'll back off a bit to sink into the back of the seat next to her, a somewhat disappointed look on his face. ]

That's not much to go on. [ A weak, skew smirk. ] Maybe I should just strap it to my arm instead.

[ ...he's not even sure where that idea came from. ]

[Tamara may actually think about that for a little while.]

That's... actually not a bad idea.

By strapping the bow to your arm with the prosthetic, the weight will be lightened by not using your new hand directly. You may have to adjust a bit by playing another way than most but... that might work.

[ Wow, mom, you're sure taking it in stride. He frowns and considers it as well, then shakes his head. ]

No. Too cumbersome to replace it if I still break it at some point. And I need wrist movements. But maybe this direction could work...

[ He slowly picks up a bow, takes it into his mechanical hand and sort of swings it around a bit. ]

[Listen, any crazy idea seems great when your son playing is in jeopardy. She stares at Squalo for a little while.]

It won't mean anything until we try this out. We will practice until we can find a style of playing that works for you.

[ ...his lips finally twitch upwards. ]

Yes, ma'am.

wrap this up after you?

[scalpedsociety]

[She kisses him on the forehead. She'll stay and work with him as long as it takes.]

That's my boy...

sure o/

[ And so they will. ]

[ It will take a day, two, three, but eventually they figure it out. That part of his forearm uncovered by the prosthetic for a better fit. A leather bracelet to stick the end of the bow through so whenever his hand presses it down, the other end presses into his arm. It takes a while to get accustomed to, but... it's something. It's a solution. ]

[ He can keep on playing, playing well, and most people won't be able to tell a difference. ]
